Example complaints
Body and structure: “There are 2 fold out coaches on the trailer with air mattress' for the pad. We have not been able to have either air mattress stay inflated over night since we bought it. One of them leaks through the outlet to deflate it and we have to put a cellophane baggie under the cap to keep it up part of the night. The other air mattress has one corner that the was folded over when it was made (the material is doubled over) and there is a leak there. We have tried every patch made and cannot get the leak stopped because it is on the edge. …”
